He was once the Martial God of Ten Thousand Realms, a legend who shattered heavens with a single strike. But betrayal sealed his divine soul into the frail body of Lin Feng—a scorned, beaten son-in-law of a crumbling clan. Mocked as trash, humiliated by his wife’s family, and cast aside like a broken tool, he endured it all with a smile. Why? Because beneath his ragged exterior burns the heart of a god, waiting to unleash chaos on a world that forgot his name.

Divorced and discarded, Lin Feng walks away from the Lin Clan’s sneers, his steps leading him to the downtrodden Ye Clan—a family of outcasts clinging to survival. They see a wanderer. He sees a canvas. With cunning sharper than any blade and secrets deeper than the abyss, he begins to mold them in the shadows, turning weaklings into warriors, paupers into kings. Every insult fuels his resolve. Every enemy becomes a stepping stone.

But the seal on his power is cracking. Ancient foes sense the tremor of a god’s return. Arrogant young masters, ruthless sects, and even the heavens themselves will tremble when the Shadow Patriarch rises. From a forgotten village to the celestial thrones, Lin Feng—Zhan Tian—will carve his name in blood and fire, proving one truth: those who scorned him will kneel, and those who dared to challenge him will break.

Cultivation? Unmatched. Revenge? Ruthless. Destiny? His to rewrite. The world thought it buried a nobody. It awoke a nightmare.

Light poured through the crystal canyon, a cascade of brilliance that shattered against quartz walls, splintering into prisms that burned the eyes and set the air ablaze with color. The ground sparkled, each grain a mirror reflecting a sun too fierce to face. No shadows survived here—only a relentless glow that pressed against the skin, heavy as judgment. Beyond a ridge where crystals jutted like frozen flames, a rift blazed—a golden scar that pulsed with a force so radiant it could sear the soul to cinders. The Radiant Crown, the fifty-first force, had risen, its boundless brilliance of infinite power a silent vow to blind Lin Feng's spirit to ash.
